I made as directed but had to use a 10" square cake tin and it was cooked in 40 minutes in a 160C fan forced oven. We found the cake to be a little dry but made a pleasant dessert though I would advise that you serve this cake warm as it certainly looses something when it goes cold. Thank you Pa Hiker, made for ZAAR Chef Alphabet Soup. -
Both the crust and the apples were good, but they didn't stick together when serving. I used regular apple juice, maybe that's what went wrong? I might try this again sometime. Made for Alphabet Tag.
